3.1 Initial use
1.Remove all package materials,
labels and protective foil and
dispose of them in accordance
with the applicable legal
regulations.
2.Please clean the outer parts
of the appliance as described
in the section "Cleaning and
Maintenance".
3.Place the appliance on an even,
stable, dry and non-slip surface.
C
In the first use, a light
odor may arise from
the iron. This condition
will turn to be normal
after a couple of uses.
A
WARNING: When
your iron is filled with
excessive water, it may
overflow. To avoid this,
make sure that the
level of water in the
appliance does not ex-
ceed the MAX. line.
C
In order to generate
steam, the soleplate (4)
has to rise to a certain
level of temperature. By
means of the ‘anti-drip’
feature of your iron,
water dripping from the
soleplate of the iron
shall be prevented until
the soleplate attains
the temperature re-
quired.
•If water runs out during ironing,
after unplugging, you can top up
water without waiting it to cool
down.
•Iron your garments which
require a low temperature first
and then those requiring high
temperatures. If the temperature
is reduced when the appliance
has a high temperature setting, it
might be necessary to wait for 3
to 4 minutes for the heat to come
down to the set level.
3 Preparation

14 / 94 EN Iron / User Manual
3.2 Energy saving
To save energy:
•You should use an appropriate
temperature setting. If you
do not know the appropriate
temperature setting, start from
the lowest setting and increase
the temperature until the fabric is
ironed well.
•In order to perform a good ironing,
try to use the steam at intervals.
Using steam continuously will
cause more surplus humidity on
your products which may lead to
re-creasing of your fabric while
losing the extra humidity.
3.3 Ironing tips
•In order to learn the appropriate
ironing temperature to be used
for the garment, always read the
care label on your garment before
setting temperature.
•As the iron gets warmer in a
shorter time compared to the
time elapsing to cool it down,
synthetics, silks and other
fabrics alike should be ironed
at the beginning by using lower
temperature settings.
•If the garment is made of a
blend of different fabrics, always
start ironing by using the lowest
temperature setting first.
•Silk and other textiles which tend
to brighten must be ironed on the
reverse side. Velvets and other
lustrous fabrics must be ironed
under little pressure and in one
direction only. Always keep the
iron moving during ironing.
•Do not use the steam function
when ironing colored silk clothes.
This may cause stains.
3 Preparation

15 / 94 EN
Iron / User Manual
•Garments made of 100% pure
wool can be ironed using steam.
Set the temperature setting dial
preferably to the MAX setting
and lay a dry towel between the
garment and the iron.
•Ironing wool garments can cause
them to ‘shine’. It is therefore
recommended to iron such
garments inside out.
A
WARNING: Never iron
on metal parts, such as
zippers, rivets, or me-
tal buttons as they co-
uld damage the solep-
late. Always iron around
these metal parts.
3 Preparation

16 / 94 EN Iron / User Manual
4.1 Filling the water tank
•Always unplug the appliance.
Push the steam setting knob
(7) to left and bring to “0” (off)
position.
•Open the water refill lid (6) of the
iron and fill in water.
•Close the water refill lid (6).
•Even if you will iron your garments
without steam; water should be
available in the appliance in order
to use the water spray when you
need it.
•Do not fill the water reservoir with
perfume, vinegar, laundry starch,
lime removers or other products
or chemicals which shall facilitate
the ironing process.
•If your tap water is excessively
limy, we recommend to use a
mixture of tap water with purified
water.
4.2 Setting the
temperature
•After plugging in the iron, set
required ironing temperature by
turning the temperature setting
dial (3) to the appropriate position
(see the temperature and steam
settings table below).
•You can increase the tempera-
ture of your appliance by turning
the temperature setting dial (3)
clockwise.

ture of your appliance, we recom-
mend to consider the following
table.

4 Operation of the Appliance

17 / 94 EN
Iron / User Manual
•In order to learn the ironing tem-
perature to be used, check the
garment’s care label.
•When the thermostat warning
light (2) turns off, your iron will
have reached the desired tem-
perature.
•If you don’t know the fabric of
your garment, first iron an invis-
ible part of your garment and
determine a correct ironing tem-
perature for it.
•In order to prevent the bright
stains that may form on the syn-
thetic fabrics such as silk, iron on
the reverse side of the fabric. Do
not use the spray feature in order
to prevent the stain formation.
4.3 Steam ironing
•Pull the steam setting knob (7)
to the right or left and bring it to
steam level “1-2” as you desire.
4.4 Dry ironing
•In order to make dry ironing, you
should bring the steam setting
knob (7) to “0” (off) position.
Having water in the iron would
be advantageous; you may use
the water spray button (9) when
necessary.
4.5 Shock steam
•During ironing, in order to remove
the tenacious creases, you can
gain strong steam by pressing on
the shock steam button (8) for
3-4 times in 5-second intervals.
•When you start to iron, shock
steam may not emit in your first
couple of presses. In order to gain
shock steam, the temperature
setting dial (3) should be at •• or
a higher level.
•You can open the creased parts
of the garments with the steam
power which is obtained by press-
ing the shock steam button (8)
during steam ironing. However if
this process is maintained without
an interruption, water may also
come from the soleplate (4) along
with the steam.
4 Operation of the Appliance

18 / 94 EN Iron / User Manual
4.6 Water spray

water in the water tank. Spray
function can be used in order
to remove tenacious creases by
pressing the water spray button
(9) during dry or steam ironing.
4.7 Vertical steam
•While the iron is in a vertical
position, by pressing the shock
steam button (8), you can remove

4 Operation of the Appliance

19 / 94 EN
Iron / User Manual
5.1 Cleaning
1.Turn off and unplug the appliance
before each cleaning process.
2.Wait until your iron cools down
completely.
3.Use a slightly damp cloth to clean
the outer surface of the iron. Then
wait until it dries out completely.
4.Wipe the sediments and residues
on the soleplate with a slightly
damp cloth and soft, nonabrasive
liquid cleaner as necessary.
A
WARNING: When you
finished ironing, unplug
the appliance. Drain
the water in the tank.

in the tank by opening
the refill lid (6) and tilt-
ing the iron to the front.
A
WARNING: Never
use gasoline, solvent
and abrasive cleaning
agents or hard brush to
clean this appliance.
5.2 Lime removing feature
(Self-Clean)
Use the self-clean feature once in
every 2 to 3 weeks. If the water of
your network is very hard (if lime
particles fall down from the base of
the appliance), we recommend you
to use the self-clean function more
frequently.
•Always unplug your iron.
•Fill in the water reservoir up to
Max. level.
•Do not add vinegar etc. and other
lime removing substances into the
water reservoir.
•Pull the steam setting knob (7)
to left and bring to the steamless
ironing “0” position.
•Plug in the appliance to a
grounded outlet and bring the
soleplate temperature to maxi-
mum.
•Hold the iron over the sink and
turn the steam setting and self-
clean knob (7) to the "Self Clean"
position.
5 Cleaning and maintenance

20 / 94 EN Iron / User Manual
5 Cleaning and maintenance
•Keep the button on the self-clean
position. Gently shake the iron to
left and right. Continue this pro-
cess when the water in the water
tank finishes. Release the button
when the water is fully drained.
•During this process, the water
in the tank comes down into
the steam generation reservoir
quickly and is released through
the soleplate holes along with the
lime particles (if any).
•Unplug the appliance and gently
move it on an old cloth. Keep
ironing until the water and lime
stains left on the base are re-
moved. Wait until the iron cools
down before storing it.
5.3 Lime protection system
(Anti-Calc)
The lime protection system in the
water tank of your iron prevents
clogging of the steam holes. Lime
protection system is always active
and there is no need to replace it.
5.4 Storage
If you do not intend to use the steam
iron for a long time, please store it
carefully.
•Make sure that the iron is un-
plugged and cooled down com-
pletely before storing it.
•Empty the water reservoir.
•Please keep the steam iron and
its accessories in their original
packages.
•Store them in a cool and dry
place.
•Make sure that the appliance is
stored in a place out of the reach
of children.
